Marine Umbrella Duty for Obama Provokes Twitter Bashing (Video)

President Barack Obama is taking a Twitter bashing after having a Marine hold an umbrella over his head during a press conference in the Rose Garden Thursday.

In the middle of a joint press conference with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama called for two uniformed Marines to hold umbrellas as it began to drizzle.

"I am going to go ahead and ask folks, why don’t we get a couple of Marines, they're going to look good next to us," the president said. "I've got a change of suit but I don’t know about our prime minister."
